Yesterday’s presentation by Apple was full of surprises related to the new generation of smartphones. Among the most striking features is the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max’s Dynamic Island, which has reinvented the perforations on the front of the phone to ensure user interaction.
This dynamic island takes advantage of the notches to give them a utility with the aim of combining software and hardware in one to provide infinite options. This change comes as a result of the disappearance of the notch that the base versions of the iPhone 14 still have. Likewise, it is time to discover everything that this new property hides inside.
What is this new feature
The rumors finally became reality and the notch is history, at least in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models, which have gotten rid of that feature to bet on the revolutionary Dynamic Island. However, the possibilities offered by this peculiarity are still a mystery and it is time to reveal it.
The design is somewhat reminiscent of most Android mobiles of the moment, although with the main difference that the Dynamic Island of the iPhone 14 can completely change its shape based on notifications. So depending on whether you receive a call, you are listening to music or any other type of notification, the system will adapt the island to the convenient format in terms of size and shape.
From Tim Cook’s company they claim that the integration of the dynamic island, the TrueDepth front camera and facial recognition sensors are redesigned to occupy as little space as possible on the screen. A giant step to make us forget the notch, but many are unaware of how it really works.
Squeeze Dynamic Island on your iPhone 14 Pro
In a nutshell, Dynamic Island is the replacement for the notch that we see on the iPhone 13 and previous generations. It is a small pill that brings together the Face ID sensor and the selfie camera with a determining aspect that we have already mentioned and that is that it changes its shape according to the content.
This island dynamically alters its dimensions based on notifications . Below we explain in detail all the possibilities that have been revealed by Apple itself:
- calls
- Battery charge indication
- ride sharing
- AirPods connectivity
- Background activities (maps, music, timer…)
- Reports with sports results.
The Dynamic Island of the new iPhone 14 Pro allows you to consult and even interact with all this information without the need to modify the content that is displayed on the screen at that moment. This means that users now have greater accessibility when it comes to controlling these parameters since just by touching the pill it will increase in size to be easily visible. In the following video you can see in detail some of the options you have at your disposal:

The animations on this island are designed down to the last detail so that each notification has its own style, so having an incoming call is not going to be the same as changing the song on Spotify. From Apple they say that the system is developed to show the information clearly and concisely without losing the content that is in the background. We just have to wait to see how this option evolves and what third-party applications take advantage of it, since if they decide to squeeze their powers, the result could be exceptional.
